Our Wines
Our Merlots are rich and smooth in character with a fruitful bouquet and an excellent finish. In fact, they turn so many heads that our 2006, 2007 and 2008 Merlots have caught the eye of The San Francisco Chronicle International Wine Competition where they’ve been awarded all 3 consecutive years.
In addition to our Merlots, our winery offers a stunning Majorette (2008), our St. Pe De Bigorre white wine blend and a sparkling wine from France, Crement D’ Alsace. Our Majorette is a 2007 and 2008 bottled blend of the best obtainable Merlot, Petit Syrah and Cabernet Franc grapes; its forward fruit and sweet young bouquet make it a cheerful parade of drink.
Our wines are exquisite and have received rave reviews by friends, fellow ranchers and wine connoisseurs alike. The winery opened it’s tasting room in 2008, we hope to reach out to the occasional vineyard vacationers, seasoned wine tasting pros and boutique retailers nationwide with our wines.

Our Grapes
Our grapes are given daily, dedicated tender care and harvested from a fifteen acre vineyard located on our very own Seven Hills Land and Cattle Co. ranch. The vineyard faces southwest, on 15 sloping acres at 1,800 feet elevation. Since purchasing the ranch, we have grafted five of the pre-existing acres and added petit verdot, sauvignon blanc & malbec, and planted five acres of cabernet sauvignon.
Our Harvest
Our grapes are harvested in autumn and hand sorted to render the finest fruit. They are cold soaked and slowly ferment, allowing them three weeks on the skins. This accounts for a rich color, body and tannin structure. The grapes are then aged fourteen months in both new and old French oak barrels.
Our first harvest was produced at the renowned DeRose Vineyards in Hollister, CA. We produce and bottle our own wine in our new, state-of-the-art winery, located next to our wine tasting room.
